My personal impression was that even the 2.6.0-test kernels were much better than the 2.4.0-test kernels. But 2.6.20 will most likely still have the stability of the early 2.6 kernels instead of a greatly increased stability as observed in 2.2.20 and 2.4.20 . cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
